The Management of Cronobacter in Powdered Infant Formula Manufacturing and/or Dairy Processing Plants in New Zealand

The production of this guide represents three years of intensive and incredibly detailed work, involving key dairy industry players and regulators, motivated and led by Distinguished Professor Phil Bremer (the Centre’s Chief Scientist) and Associate Professor Simon Swift (member of the Centre’s Science Leadership Team).  Cronobacter is of increasing concern to the infant formula industry after two newborns died from drinking contaminated formula, produced in the US (2022).  The consequences were enormous, including a critical national shortage of formula.
